This paper presents a prototype humanoid robotics platform developed for HRP-2. HRP-2 is a new humanoid robotics platform, which we have been developing in phase two of HRP. HRP is a humanoid robotics project, which has been lunched by Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) of Japan from 1998FY to 2002FY for five years. The ability of the biped locomotion of HRP-2 is improved so that HR...

Hepatoma-derived growth factor-related protein-3 (Hdgfrp3 or HRP-3) was recently reported as a neurotrophic factor and is upregulated in hepatocellular carcinoma to promote cancer cell survival. Here we identified HRP-3 as a new endothelial ligand and characterized its in vitro and in vivo functional roles and molecular signaling. We combined open reading frame phage display with multi-round in...

Synthetic nanochannels have recently attracted enormous interest because their geometry and surface chemistry can be fully controlled. They also feature excellent mechanical robustness and compatibility with various electronic measurement systems. Synthetic nanochannels fabricated in polymer and silicon-based films as well as glass nanopipettes have already been applied for the detection of DNA...

Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and thionine (Th) were co-adsorbed onto a porous carbon-felt (CF) from a mixed solution of HRP and Th to fabricate a CF-based bioelectrocatalytic flow-detector for H(2)O(2). The resulting HRP and Th co-adsorbed CF (HRP/Th-CF) was successfully used as a working electrode unit of a highly sensitive amperometric flow-H(2)O(2)-biosensor. Differing from the ordinary medi...

Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) catalyzes the oxidative para-dechlorination of the environmental pollutant/carcinogen 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP). A possible mechanism for this reaction is a direct oxygen atom transfer from HRP compound I (HRP I) to trichlorophenol to generate 2,6-dichloro 1,4-benzoquinone, a two-electron transfer process. An alternative mechanism involves two consecutive on...

For the exploration of the intrinsic reactivity of two key active species in the catalytic cycle of horseradish peroxidase (HRP), Compound I (HRP-I) and Compound II (HRP-II), we generated in situ [Fe(IV) O(TMP(+.) )(2-MeIm)](+) and [Fe(IV) O(TMP)(2-MeIm)](0) (TMP=5,10,15,20-tetramesitylporphyrin; 2-MeIm=2-methylimidazole) as biomimetics for HRP-I and HRP-II, respectively. Their catalytic acti...

This paper presents a radio-frequency (RF) antenna as sensor to detect Horseradish peroxidase (HRP). At the core of proposed approach is graphene film deposited on stub connected an RF antenna. The doctor bladed stub. then properly chemically functionalized in order presence We validate proof-of-concept operation HRP concentration detection by measuring frequency shift reflection coefficient us...

Oxidation of 1,3,4,5-tetrahydro-2H-1,5-benzodiazepine oximes catalysed by horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and recombinant Coprinus cinereus (rCiP) was studied spectrophotometrically. The reaction rate dependences on the substrate hydrogen peroxide concentrations were investigated; values apparent KM Vmax, catalytic, oxidation reduction constants (kcat, kox kred, respectively) calculated. reactivit...

We have developed a humanoid robot HRP-1S that is capable of simultaneous whole body motion control. In phase one of the Humanoid Robotics Project (HRP) of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan, Honda R&D Co. Ltd has produced humanoid robot HRP-1 as a humanoid research platform to ease the development of good applications for humanoid robots in phase two of HRP. However, HRP-1 co...

The uptake, distribution, and fate of particulate horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-anti HRP aggregates has been studied in homogeneous monolayers of mouse macrophages in vitro. Macrophages rapidly interiorize the immune complexes after binding to the cell surface. The rate of interiorization is maximal for complexes formed in a broad zone of 4-fold antibody excess to equivalence and corresponds to ...
